Sriracha or Not

Tonight for dinner I heated up the last of my home made black beans. Added some brown rice and yesterdays stir fry of onions, red bell peppers, a red jalapeno pepper and small cubes of zucchini. I placed the mixture in a large 12″ flour tortilla and spread some grated sharp cheddar cheese on top.

When I turned to put my dishes in the dishwasher, Emily kindly folder my burrito up. As I grabbed my Sriracha sauce from the refrigerator, I commented that I could squeeze some in my burrito. Emily said that she would help me out. I though she would unfold the burrito, squirt a little in and fold it back up. Much to my surprise, she liberally squirted it on the burrito. She stated, “Here dad, you now have a wet burrito.”

I sat down and began the process of eating dinner. There was more Sriracha than i was used to. However, it was good. I stopped to take a picture of the “wet burrito” and continued eating. My nose was running, my mouth was feeling the heat and some time after my lips were still stinging. Nonetheless, it was a great burrito.

As a matter not note, the Huy Fong Foods Sriracha sauce is made locally here in Southern California from red jalapeno peppers. It is a great sauce and in December 2009, Bon Appetit magazine named its Sriracha sauce Ingredient of the Year for 2010. As for our household, it was the ingredient of the evening . . .
